Along the verge observing the small details.

A black and white photograph. Long grasses with thin stalks and tufted tips against a dark, blurred background. The lighting highlights the grasses, creating contrast between them and the shadowy backdrop.
A black and white photograph. Tall, slender grasses with thin stems and feathery tops sway lightly against a blurred natural background.
A black and white photo of a dense, shadowy woodland scene with tall trees and leafy branches. Sunlight filters through the foliage, casting dappled light patterns on the ground covered with long grass and underbrush.
Close-up of a hogweed stalk with multiple thin stems and star shaped flower heads radiating from a central point, resembling a skeletal umbrella. The background is a soft, blurred mixture of dark and light tones. The image is in black and white.

More from my walks along the local lanes. This time photos using the lovely M.Zuiko 100mm f2.8.
#BlackAndWhitePhotography#FujifilmX#Photography#Northumberland
Tall, slender grasses in the foreground with blurred foliage in the background. The image is in black and white, emphasizing the contrast between the sharp grasses and the soft, indistinct background.
Black and white image depicting a rural scene with tall grasses and a wooden fence in the foreground. Two large, cylindrical hay bales are visible in the background, one closer and one further away, resting in an open field. The details of the grasses and fence are sharp, while the hay bales are slightly blurred.
Black and white photograph of a rural landscape with bare hogweed stems and flower heads in the foreground, against a dry stone wall. The background features a blurred field and distant trees under a cloudy sky, framed by overhanging tree branches.
Black and white photograph of a rural landscape with several large hay bales scattered across a field. Parallel lines run through the field, indicating recent harvesting. A line of wooden telegraph posts runs along the left side. Dense trees line the horizon under a cloudy sky.

Ventured a bit further on the bike today, much to the interest of at least one sheep #Northumberland#Cycling #BikeTooter
Colour photograph of a grassy field of sheep, with hills behind. One sheep in particular is standing face on and staring at the camera.

A rare afternoon visit to Howick Hall brought a bonus addition to the cake selection - rhubarb meringue with ice cream.
Nice flowers too.
#Northumberland#Cake#Food
Colour photograph of a slice of rhubarb meringue dessert with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream on a white plate. A cup of tea in a white cup and saucer is visible behind.
Colour photograph of an umble of some sort, possibly cow parsley. Anyway, it has white frothy flowers. The background is blurred.
Colour photograph of an 18th century country house in pale Stone. It sits amid trees, with a recently mown hayfield in the foreground. The sky is blue with pale clouds.
Colour photograph of some bright orange lily flowers speckled with Brown. The background is blurred green.

Sorry, it's been a while since my last update. June and July have been... TUMULTUOUS.
Here are the Duddo Five Stones! Roughly 4,000 years old, just north of their namesake village. A mystical and timeless place, aided by dramatic skies.

This detailed close-up image highlights the textured surface of another of the Duddo Five Stones in Northumberland, England. The stone features deep vertical grooves and ridges, with a rugged, weather-beaten appearance. The surface is adorned with diverse patches of lichen in shades of pale grey, green, and subtle yellow, adding a natural mosaic effect. The rough, uneven stone shows signs of age and exposure to the elements, with soft natural light accentuating the stone’s contours and the delicate growth of the lichens, emphasising the historic and enduring nature of the standing stones.
A close-up image captures the textured surface of one of the Duddo Five Stones in Northumberland, England. The weathered stone is characterised by deep vertical grooves and irregular contours, covered in various patches of pale grey and green lichen as well as small tufts of moss. The natural light highlights the rough, uneven surface, emphasising the stone’s ancient, timeworn character and the quiet resilience of the lichen growing on it, set against a subtle backdrop of grass at the base.
A close-up view of the Duddo Five Stones in Northumberland, England, showcasing the five large, weathered standing stones arranged in a rough circle on a grassy hilltop. The stones are irregular in shape, covered with patches of lichen, and their rough textures and vertical grooves are clearly visible. The surrounding grass is lush and green, while the sky above is dynamic with a mix of dark, heavy clouds and patches of blue sky, casting a moody yet vibrant atmosphere over the ancient site and its expansive rural landscape in the distance.
The Duddo Five Stones, a small group of ancient standing stones set on a gentle grassy hill in Northumberland, England. A narrow dirt path leads straight through the lush green field, drawing the eye towards the stones standing silhouetted against a dramatic sky filled with thick, low-hanging grey clouds. The stones appear weathered and irregular in shape, emphasising their age and historical significance, while the moody sky and open landscape evoke a sense of timelessness and mystery.

Mastodonians of North East England…
Bit of a long shot…
If you know a Young Reader (16+) who’d be interested in being a Beta Reader for my latest novel, please get in touch.
I’ll send them a printed copy when it’s out, and credit them.
For context, it’s about a pair of teenagers in North Shields.
